Georgia employees who get injured at work are entitled to benefits through workers' compensation, an insurance program that pays for your medical bills and lost wages while you're recovering. The free advice and resources below break down the workers' comp process so you can focus on getting better and getting on with your life.

While the Peach State can be a great place to live and work, what happens if you get injured or sick on the job and then you can’t work while you recover?
Georgia companies are required to carry workers’ comp insurance so that employees who get injured at work can get help paying medical expenses and other bills while they can’t work.
There’s no single chart that will tell you how much you’ll get in a workers’ comp settlement in Georgia, but you can estimate the amount you’ll get based on benefit pay rates in the state.
At the bottom of many websites, you'll find a small disclaimer: "We are not a law firm and are not qualified to give legal advice." If you see this, run the other way. These people can't help you: they're prohibited by law from giving meaningful advice, recommending specific lawyers, or even telling you whether you need a lawyer at all.
There’s no disclaimer here: Atticus is a law firm, and we are qualified to give legal advice. We can answer your most pressing questions, make clear recommendations, and search far and wide to find the right lawyer for you.
Two important things to note: If we give you legal advice, it will be through a lawyer on our staff communicating with you directly. (Don't make important decisions about your case based solely on this or any other website.) And if we take you on as a client, it will be through a document you sign. (No attorney-client relationship arises from using this site or calling us.)
